Is that supposed to be a bad thing?

The bad thing is its just a benefit for only people that want to pod kill. If you want to have something new its need to address more people this have no benefit for people only a wast of skills and real life time to learn this skill. Or the time you want to scan him his implants.

No, its a counter balance for people who think they can AP around in their virtue sets with impunity because no one can see what they have plugged in.

So you don't take the gamble and the sec hit for pod killing? No! Implants are in my head and you'd need a body scanner but still a sound no. Roll the dice...take the chance.

Again, use search please.

So just because it benefits a few people makes it a waste of time? Where is the actual negative affect from adding this feature? It's not like it would be hard to add it as an ability of the ship scanner instead of making a new module.

Which is, in itself, a counter for ***** baby carebear 'gankers' who would only kill juicy pods in high sec.

You want to pod kill? Kill them all.

How about you take your chances, just like everyone else? You're complaining just because you don't want to lose sec status and a ship in return for a no-implant clone? Tough. Roll the dice. Accept the risks. Reap the rewards.

Whatever they may be. Even if you lose for no gain.

You're asking (yet again) to have CCP make YOUR life easier, YOUR fun easier, YOUR killboard stats better, all because you're too lazy or cowardly to simply go out there and start shooting pods, and accept the penalties that accompany doing that?

HTFU.

Nothing is stopping you from suicide ganking AP pods. What you want is a pretty much free way to pad your KB with high value kills without having to suffer as much in the way of sec hits. Sorry, you are just being lazy.

Nope.
